Thought so, Another hero lol. Look for a 745 lump. Lots of turbo bits to be had. The manifold is the main bit and the other good bit is the inlet. The tb is mounted on the off side alowing easy pipe work from the intercooler. You have standalone already which is a big help already too.

I'm doing a m30 turbo conversion at the moment, have a look on the turbo section.

What sort of power levels you want to reach?
